Oy, things are going to start getting complicated and out of hand, aren’t they?

You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can’t win
And so it goes
Till the day you die
This thing they call love
It’s gonna make you cry
I’ve had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing for sure

(Love stinks)
Love stinks! yeah yeah…..

Kokani

LOL Perfect just perfect

Chrissy seems kinda innocent. At least she’ll be overwhelmed by so many attention. I guess next scene will have both one apart.

to me love is cliche and its abused sooo much…
it saddens me to the point where i think is a useless emotion now…

but its still amusing as hell XD

Animus

Heh, of all the girls I know, all of them would have probably slapped him for pulling her that close and for that kiss, seemed more like a forced ”I’m a cool guy, I’ll kiss you without your permission” kind of kiss.

If there are any rifts in relations between the Earth Dragons and the Palace, you’re right that this may have only widened them. As for this “Cybylia” character, such a character has not appeared in the story, so I’m not sure who you’re referring to.

Gravedigger

my thoughts exactly

Sojourner

Spelled “Cybela”, and it’s only a hypothetical name for now. Until Gaia’s daughter appears in canon, it is just a potential name.

Both the Tigers and Dragons had their heads redesigned a couple years ago, around the time the series went to color. The idea was to get their three-quarter view heads to jibe with their profiles. The profiles had these long snout-like noses, and that didn’t match the “3Q” view, where the nose was reduced to a tiny nub. In other words, the 3Q looked too flat compared to the profile. I liked the profile look better, so that was selected as the template for the new 3Q’s, and thus, the Dragons’ noses, in an effort to evoke a snout, were extended in 3Q, and the outlines for them were revised to make this visible, especially where the far end of the nose goes beyond the character’s cheek. All this has made the heads easier to render in three dimensions.

A similar solution was implemented for the Tigers. The bridge of the nose was already crowded with the boundary lines for their orange areas. Thus, I added a couple of furrows to the the vertex where the bridge of the nose meets the rest of the face, to imply that the skin is changing direction there.

I’m much happier with the way the heads look now as it increases my flexibility with the angles at which their heads can be oriented. It’s all for the best, I assure you! ^__^

Gravedigger, I’m no sure exactly what’s got your knickers in a twist, but I hardly think this kind of behavior is warranted. You’re both fans of the same webcomic; he disagreed with you and you respond with insults and provocation. Do us all a favor and keep it in private messaging, please.

Gravedigger

he actually started this conflict awhile back on Las Lindas, he called me some really nasty names, and all he really does is complain that the comic characters arnt pleasant, hes probably the reason they quit allowing comments on Las Lindas

Sly

That really sting your eyes, doesn’t it? Someone that has something to say that you don’t agree with?

I point out things that are odd, out of place or straight out bad. Things that could be improved. If dear Mr Artist want to listen and take in advice or just ignore it is not for me to decide, but I put it there. And if someone turn off the comment section because not everyone is blindly asslicking the “greatness” of their art and storytelling, well tough luck.
I might have a harsh tone but life isn’t all about flowers and butterflies.

Compared to you who rarely, if ever, contribute with anything else than unnecessary comments where you state your current brain activity or whatever it is. With a vast amounts of exclamation marks, of course.

Sable

Uh oh, This isnt going to go well, and for once I’d say Eone is in the wrong. Looking mediocre and getting the bare minimum is going to just make earth dragons look bad, and such liberties could be revoked.

You might be right. Last time they were called upon, the Earth Dragons were fighting to save the Imperial City. This… isn’t quite the same thing.

And as for the update, it automatically went up while I happened to be in school. Now that I’m back at my computer, I’ve done all the usual updates everywhere else. ^__^

MaveriKat

Definitely not the same thing. One was protecting their home. The other is being sent out as a goon squad to capture a tiger for the Queen.

Gravedigger

it always sucks when you have to do someone else’s dirty work

MaveriKat

So true.

Gravedigger

thanks

sulka

Oh I mean gaias daughter that what I think her name is

sulka

So Why did the male dragons left they do not agree with the war or something I wouldn’t blame
them they left crazy prideful leader and the tigers there no better than the dragons themselves
I love your comic it kind of shows there is no good guy or bad guy it is just like humans do
Heres is an idea maybe oscura and kess might share a jail cell and start killing each other

Wow. I’m sorry, but a period or a comma or something would’ve made that easier to read. Anyway, I think I was able to parse it in my brain. ^__^;; You’ve got a pretty solid idea on the pigheadedness on each side. Maybe their eyes may one day be opened , and a recurring theme I hope to continue to illustrate is that both sides have more in common with each other than either side is willing to admit. Hence, the “no clear good guy or bad guy” dynamic I’ve sought to foster. As for Oscura and Kess being in a jail cell and killing each other, well, that would only make the losing side even madder. Wouldn’t solve anything.

Well, that could backfire catastrophically. “Lady Red, what is your assessment of the Earth Dragons” “They appear to lack initiative and are slow to act without orders. It may be best to limit their freedom for their own protection.”

Perhaps, but she may be playing the “conscientious objector” card here. It’s what happens with forced servitude–there are motivational issues.

Puffball

Geez, Eone, way to snuff out that so-called “vocal minority” :/ All she has to do is tell Lady Red the names of who *does* want to be brought into combat if she doesn’t want to be drafted again in the future. On a lighter note, I’m glad to see yet another similarity in dragon and tiger lore. Their languages are written as very different, but the variations for the names of certain places and now their shared goddess implies that the races weren’t so different in times beyond anyone’s remembering. I wonder if the dragon elders know how it used to be before the fights started. Maybe the two races shared a language, or at least understood one another’s

Very keen observation on the name of the goddess. I want to show that the Tigers and Dragons may have some common cultural roots, with each side naturally claiming that theirs is the superior of the two. ^__^

LOL! I thought of this when sketching the page, but didn’t find a good spot to use one. I’ll see what I can do to make it up to you on upcoming pages. ~__^

Gravedigger

I love you man

Thad Zurcher

Who knows, I think kilani will pull out a diary that has all tha times she and “chuci” spent together and one of the dragons can read tiger language and will learn tha whole story on what happened then. Now THAT would make for something interesting.

I’m sure Kilani would have some stories to tell, though I would imagine that that would only make Queen Oscura even more pissed off since it was Kilani having those sweet moments with “Chuki” and not the queen. It would only rub salt in the wound.

Thad Zurcher

Or it would open the queens eyes and reveal that the tigers are not the menaces they think they are.

Gravedigger

like thatll happen

Thad Zurcher

Hahaha LOL

Gravedigger

it just seems that the queen bitch of the dragons is pretty stuck on revenge instead of peace

Chromoid

Hmm… I sense impending tragedy caused by these orders.

That’s gonna be tough, if it proves to be the case, but it’ll certainly help to get the earth dragons off the fence and into the fight.

LOL! My soundtrack suggestion is simply a suggestion. If you’ve got a title and artist for “low-tone sadness music,” I’ll gladly take a listen. d^__^b

CinnamonSalve

I have far too many to list, but .//Hack GU’s Lost Resolution song is one of them, but the actual song’s theme doesn’t fit… There’s also Swaying Emotions, from the same game, or possibly the Final Hours song from Majora’s Mask.

Krahazik

Has the reason for this whole war been brought up yet? Or is it one of those things where they have been fighting for so long no one remembers why they are really fighting anymore?

Officially, it’s the latter. Maybe I’ll give more specifics in future installments, but for the time being, all each side knows is that they need to retaliate for the other side killing their people all the time. Gotta love them stalemates.

Rynn2588

I feel where Eone is coming from, but after making a complete ASS out of herself to Queen Oscura, (Even though Schaddig worked her magic on the Queen first) she’s shooting herself in the foot. Big time. Sorry, Eone. You need to seriously rethink your priorities before going toe-to-toe on something like this. The mission, no matter how f’ed up it is; must be followed to a T! Also, “Luasa”? Am I getting a Persian-Greek vibe with the sharing of god names? Very clever from a history buff’s standpoint!

Thanks! I’m glad that it comes across like that, though I can’t rightfully claim that “Luasa” was intended to sound Persian or Greek. I have, however, tried to give the Tigers, in particular, more of an African, Arab, and Persian flavor in their names and native terminology, whereas the Dragons take on a more European flavor. That being said, there are some terms that might have had a common origin, but whose pronunciations have evolved over time along with the language in which they reside; hence, the similarity between “Calera” and “Khalira,” and now “Loessa” and “Luasa.”
